Update on April 15,
2007
The website has been
revised by the new webmaster to exclude all details of living
persons. Note that this will include those born within the last
110 years for whom there is no confirmed date of death.

To
keep ahead of some of the most persistent and accomplished spam
artists in the world, I've had to change my e-mail address. You can

Notes
on previous update on July 4, 2006
I
am grateful once again to Aldyth Fuller for sending me another thick envelope packed with Fuller research, all of which I have now added to the site.
Thanks to Aldyth, the photo gallery contains five new pictures,
including one of Charles Fuller (1801-1875), one of Henry Fuller's
brothers -- a valuable addition indeed. Aldyth has also provided
details of the Barlow, Roth and Lonsdale branches of the Fuller tree,
as well as additions to the Fuller-Spicer branch, this research coming
originally from Vernon Wilson.
I
have also been able to make numerous other additions to the site
thanks to the tremendous efforts of a number of subscribers to the
SOUTH-AFRICA-IMMIGRANTS-BRITISH mailing list on Rootsweb
(www.rootsweb.com), in particular Ellen Stanton and Sue Mackay, who
have spent many hours transcribing records.

Fullers
of the Ocean is growing apace as the reach of the World Wide Web
continues to put far-flung cousins in touch with one another. In my
latest update I have new material from three sources.
John
William Fuller of Johannesburg, who is descended from Henry and
Susannah Fuller’s eldest son, George, has filled out his branch of
the tree and also supplied a great family treasure – the Boer War
diary of William Robertson Fuller, his grandfather, who was among
those besieged in Mafeking for seven months from October 1899 until
May 1900. This page includes a biography of William
Robertson Fuller written by John William Fuller.
A
second source of new material is Cheryl Carpenter of London, a
great-great-granddaughter of James Fuller, Henry and Susannah’s
fourth son. The material provided by Cheryl includes a wonderful
picture of all five daughters of James Fuller and Elizabeth Adcock
Whittle, which you can see here. Cheryl has also filled out her branch
of the tree and brought forward a family story of the type that often
simply can’t be found in the usual genealogical sources – the news
that her grandmother grew up in an aunt’s home. This story is told here.
I
am also grateful to Clarice Ballenden of Melbourne, Australia, a
great-great-great-granddaughter of the same James Fuller, for
providing me with some details of her family (see them here)
as well as pictures of Alfred
William Fuller, his wife Jessie Ann King and some of their children.
I
have also added a picture gallery containing thumbnail images of all
pictures on the site. The link for this has been added
to the collection on the left side of most pages, but you can go
straight to it from here.
Earlier
contributors to Fullers of the Ocean include:
■
Aldyth Fuller (whose family again is in the line of James Fuller), who
sent in the page of priceless memories of her family's “Aunt
Bobbie.”
■
Ken Fuller of Natal, a grandson of Harry
James
■
My own cousin Randolph Fuller of Middlesborough, England.
